This page lists resources that developers use on a regular basis. One goal of the page is to help those beginning to track the project know what they may be interested in looking at.

Documentation

  • The Installation Guide describes how to build and install MIT Kerberos.
  • The 1.6 documentation site contains administrator and user documentation; while not directly targeted at developers, this documentation helps understand the product.
  • Unfortunately there is no stable web pointer to the current version of MIT Kerberos documentation; as such the above links will eventually point to outdated documentation.
  • The Glossary is a quick index of acronyms and terms related to Kerberos, which you may come across while reading the code.

Mailing lists

Much of the discussion of new proposals, discussion of what direction to take the product and answering of questions takes place on mailing lists.

Source code

The MIT Kerberos sources are in a Subversion repository.

Bug tracking

Jabber

The core team and some fairly active developers use a jabber room for instant message chat. The goal is to have kerberos developers around the world available to answers each others' questions and to engage in real-time design discussions. If you are a reasonably active developer and wish to join this chat, contact a core team member for details.

Lore
